Used in research settings to detect and quantify levels of Ataxin-2 protein in rat biological samples. This ELISA kit enables scientists to study the role of ATXN2 in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It supports investigations into disease progression, protein expression changes under experimental conditions, and evaluation of potential therapeutic interventions in rat models. The assay is valuable for neuroscience research and drug development targeting protein misfolding and neuronal dysfunction.
